“Politics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.”
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 – 1969), American general, Republican politician and President: speech, broadcast January 28, 1954, published in “Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States”, 1954.
“Intelligence… is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas.”
- Susan Sontag (1933 – 2004), American essayist: ‘Notes on “Camp”’, 1964, reprinted in “Against Interpretation”, 1966.
‘It’s what I always wanted – to be in touch with a community of ideas like this… There’s something thrilling about the internet… It almost doesn’t matter what anyone says. It’s more the thrill of knowing you’re in touch with people laterally, rather than through a filter of some kind.”
- Brian Eno (b. 1948), British rock musician: interview in “i-D” (London), October 1993.
